Purple Plaid Mohair Coat by Yolanda

This fabulous and fuzzy purple plaid mohair coat was made by Yolanda. The coat pattern was self-drafted and she also made covered buttons. You can see her skill as a seamstress in the meticulous matching of the plaids. Douglas from Britex's first floor was instrumental in assisting in her fabric choice. Yolanda has sewn for folks in Hollywood (including actress Doris Day) and Disney. If you look carefully in Disneyland’s Small World exhibit, you will see her handiwork!

Nice coat.
I had to be in parades, park tours, and give autographs to Rose Bowl football players in December, and all I had was a yellow dress and blue cape Yolanda made for me, but never had a coat that warm! Would have been nice.
